Beautiful build! How did you do the pinstriping?

Looking good! What color are you going to go with for the tandem axle pete?

PS: I'm liking your computer background

Hey KJ how did you do your stainless on that reefer?

I started with two glue bombs that I had bought, one was a great dane reefer, the other was a fruehauf van trailer. I cut the ribbed sides off of the fruehauf, then cut the sides off of the great dane leaving the front, back, top side rails, and bottom side rails. I filed the ribbed fruefauf sides to fit the great dane and glued them in place. Then I painted the whole trailer "aluminum" silver. After that was dry I went over all of the parts that are supposed to be stainless with bare metal foil. That trailer wasn't quite done in those pics, but it was mostly done.

Thanks everyone!

Nice. Good job on the door lettering. Is it a decal, or did you hand paint it?

I didn't use any decals on this build at all. Everything was actually done with spray paint. I cut a very small stencil out of tape and layed it over the doors, then sprayed a few light coats of white over it to get the door lettering.

Finally, after almost 2 and a half years, I have almost finished this build. I still have a few tweaks to make (like glue the cab to the hinges), but it looks like a truck finally!
